Spoilers Star Trek: Picard General Discussion Thread

Now tell us why the fuck you had to involve the rest of us in this pointless exercise when you could have done the same thing at home talking to your cat?

Maybe the cat was like 'bro, why is it any of your business' before it licked it's butt and fell asleep in the sunny spot.

Considering this show is about helping Romulan refugees as a metaphor, I would hope that some of the massive profits of this show are going to some kind of refugee charity or something. I mean, otherwise it's kind of jarring to see the show taking advantage of their situation for their script, have Picard fight for the rights of fantasy refugees, and then none of the profit of all that goes to actual refugees...

What are you even talking about? How is the show taking advantage of refugees? Like provide specific examples of how real world refugees are being taken advantage of by the Picard showrunners? Picard is doing what star trek has always done utilising problems from the real world and exploring them via science fantasy. Didn't realise that was a problem.

Taking advantage was definitely the wrong word choice but the point was since the theme is so prevalent, it would be nice if CBS gave a portion of the profit to helping the refugees.

Just no...the reset button was used enough in Berman Era Trek and got tiresome even when it was actually a good idea. Let this series be in one timeline and the events in Episode #1 have a lasting impact on the events in the final episode of the show and be remembered by the characters, all of whom have completed their story arcs for this series.

agree. That is why I would prefer non episodic trek. The whole reset button after ever episode so we can show episodes in any order in syndication hurts creativity. Nothing has consequences.

agreed. Any refugees of the Romulan supernova should be helped by cbs.

Similar frustration for me.

I think by the end of the decade, the number of Star Trek series will catch up to the number of Gundam series.

 

[Sir Stewart Wallace]

agreed. Any refugees of the Romulan supernova should be helped by cbs.

And victims of the Praxis explosion. And the Xindi attack on Florida.

And those brave Krakatoans, east of Java, who sacrificed so much for so long.

Funny really, she has no idea that her career is over already.

I will send a letter into CBS asking if i can come on the show just to fire her.

I will use the term snug in some way and probably hubris.

Huh Some of the shots of Vashti from the air are reused shots from DSC S1E1, for the planet Georgiou and Michael were on.

Every time I go to that site, hoping that Bernd has come to his senses. And every time...

Think it's possible

Thoughts?

Nope. This isn't Voq/Tyler mystery that someone solved with a lot of circumstantial but damning evidence. This is just someone's fan-fiction with no backup evidence at all.

sort of like how discovery was gonna correct itself last season, before it didn't. and the kelvin timeline was gonna correct itself in its fourth movie. people always want new star trek to erase itself, it's so odd.

that's interesting. in the behind the scenes package in last week's ready room, neville page said he channels westmore, but didn't specifically say the makeup department was in contact with him.
